Installing Barcode Labels
Each cartridge in the library must have an external label that is operator
and machine readable to identify the barcode number. Most
manufacturers offer cartridges with the labels already applied or with the
labels included that you can attach.
All barcode labels are applied to the front of a cartridge. Peel off the label
and place it on the cartridge. Verify that label is oriented so that the
numbers appear above the barcode.
Figure 48 on page 406shows an
example of a barcode label being applied to an LTO cartridge.
Duplicate barcodes are not supported even if you
have mixed media or multiple partitions in the
library. If the library detects cartridges in vertically
adjacent storage slots with identical barcode labels,
the library creates a ticket to notify you of the
problem. If the library has non-adjacent cartridges
with identical barcode labels, the library does not
notify you of the problem. Areas in the LMC where
media IDs are listed will show information for the
first cartridge, but the cartridge with the duplicate
barcode label will not be listed.
Do not place a barcode label on top of a cartridge.
Doing so can cause inventory operations to fail.
